10 Fiendishly Clever Secrets Hidden In Video Game Covers

9. The Buried Guy - Far Cry 3

The front cover of Far Cry 3 memorably features iconic villain Vaas Montenegro sat menacingly next to a poor sap buried neck-deep in the sand.

To support the game's release, Ubisoft also produced a series of viral videos in which Michael Mando, who played Vaas in the game, kidnaps actor Christopher Mintz-Plasse - yes, McLovin himself - and deals him the very same fate.

But more than this, the cover actually nods towards an Easter egg hidden within the game itself, as players who head to the co-ordinates X: 619.7, Y: 559.4 will find a man buried up to his face in sand, unlocking the "Say Hi to the Internet" achievement in the process.

If you want to deliver some mercy, you're also able to shoot the guy in the face and end his suffering.
